I'm Hummin I'm Whistlin I'm Singing 1931-1936

When Bing Crosby died in Spain after an enjoyable game of golf, one of his principal delights along with singing, the world lost the man who could, had he wished, have claimed the title 'The World's Greatest Entertainer. ' Others before and since have been billed thus with far less justification, for Bing was a singer of heart-touching romantic songs, out-and-out jazz numbers, philosophical ballads, comedy routines (solo and with others from Judy Garland or Bob Hope to Louis Armstrong or Johnny Mercer), and all points west - for he could and did sing 'westerns' with the same ease and conviction as all or any of the others. So much has been written about him, that to attempt anything of the kind in a note on this record and its contents would be pointless. His voice, and the use to which he put it, will tell us all we need to know of the man as an artist; With songs like these, many of them forgotten by those who were there at the time they were recorded, it is indeed easy to remember the man who made them classics of their kind - Bing Crosby.
